My understanding is that iPhones are already incredibly expensive in Turkey. I read somewhere that it would be cheaper to book a round trip ticket to NY to buy one than to buy in Turkey.

I was in Turkey in 1982. Somewhere along the line, I figured we would be enemies with those ass hats 🎩 I thought Turks were some of the most disagreeable people I ever met. I still do.

I am not advocating war with those slime bags. Just watch them with both eyes. They can’t be trusted, and don’t do Gallipoli again. 😁
